Turn over from love

Chapter 8 The First Day of Startup

A month later, "Swap?"The Predecessor" is officially launched.

The night before the filming started, while Lu Zhou was packing his luggage, he frequently received reminders from Zhao Xing.

Lu Zhou stopped his actions helplessly, turned on his phone and saw that there were a bunch of new messages on the notification bar, all of which were from Zhao Xing, and they were basically notes about tomorrow's program shooting.

Brother Zhao: [Good evening, Xiaozhou, have you packed your luggage yet? ]
Brother Zhao: [You arrive at Exit B of Jiaqing Plaza on time at 9:00 tomorrow, we will have a special car there to pick you up to the Pink House, remember to be on time and not be late]
Brother Zhao: [Tomorrow is the first time for all the guests to meet. Personally, I suggest trying to dress up as handsomely as possible. The first impression is very important. Come on! ]
Brother Zhao: [By the way, let me emphasize to you the precautions for participating in our show, lest you forget]
Brother Zhao: [After staying in the pink cabin, if our program officials don’t take the initiative to cue the process, you can’t disclose personal information other than your name to others at will]
Brother Zhao: [When other guests are present, you and Li Jiayan have to pretend that you are not your ex, remember!If you can control the expression, you can control it, the time has come to show your acting skills! ]
Brother Zhao: [Also, you cannot confirm your relationship with any guest on the show, nor can you share your personal contact information until the day of the final choice comes]
Brother Zhao: [This is the responsibility of every guest participating in the performance, it cannot be violated, and violations will be dealt with as breach of contract]
……

Lu Zhou carefully read them one by one, and there were still many details to pay attention to. He replied [OK], hummed a song and continued to pack his luggage.

After waiting for so long, he was finally about to start his business.It had to be said that Lu Zhou was in a happy mood.

Before going on the show, he didn't feel nervous, but more looking forward to it.

In his last life, Lu Zhou was jealous of talents and died in his 20s. Before leaving that world, he made a wish to God with the last regret in his heart: If there is an afterlife, please let me enjoy the stage to the fullest.

When he fell asleep that night, he had a dream. He dreamed that he was back at the Brilliant Concert. Tens of thousands of people in the audience held up a flashing light sign with his name written on it. His fans cheered for his every move. Call.

The next day, Saturday.

Lu Zhou arrived at Exit B of Jiaqing Square at 8:30. When he arrived, Zhao Xing and other staff were already waiting there.

Brother Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I just like how dedicated you are, and you look very handsome today."

This is obviously a polite word, Lu Zhou didn't deliberately dress himself up differently just because he came to shoot the show.

Today's outfit is nothing more than a black T with music patterns on the upper body, a piece of stitched washed jeans on the lower body, and a simple hairstyle.

Casual everyday style, this is also very handsome, it can only be said that he is very handsome.

"Are there filters on your eyes?" Lu Zhou jokingly replied.

Zhao Xing laughed and put an invisible microphone on Lu Zhou.

After finishing the work, he helped him tidy up his clothes, and then said into the intercom: "Our side is OK, Lu Zhou Stand by."

At exactly nine o'clock, under the guidance of the program staff, Lu Zhou boarded a pink minibus.

Lu Zhou couldn't help muttering in his heart: If this special car...just takes him to the pink cabin alone, the supply of seats will be too much, right?
Also, the pink paint on this car is... really hard to describe.Can't we change to a black pickup to drive him there?
While complaining secretly, Lu Zhou had already gotten into the car, and randomly chose a seat by the window in the second row.

He looked around the car, and there were hidden cameras everywhere.

To shoot him alone, is it necessary to install so many lenses from different camera positions?
Thinking about it, I feel more and more that something is wrong, isn't he alone?

Before coming, Zhao Xing only said that there would be a special car to pick him up at Exit B of Jiaqing Square to go to the Pink House, without mentioning any other unnecessary information.

But Lu Zhou observed all this, and vaguely felt that things seemed not as simple as he thought at first.

Sure enough, he sat in the car for more than ten minutes, but there was no sign that the car was about to start.

Is this waiting for someone else?
Lu Zhou couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Could it be that other guests also took this car to the Pink House?

While thinking, there was movement at the door.

someone is coming.

Lu Zhou turned his head to look, his eyes suddenly stopped.

The person who got into the car turned out to be Li Jiayan who had been away for more than six years.

She wore a white suspender dress, which showed her outstanding figure vividly.

The moment their eyes collided, both of them were slightly stunned.

Li Jiayan obviously didn't expect that Lu Zhou would be on it after getting on the bus.

Even if you say goodbye, you may not recognize the other party?Lu Zhou actually recognized her at the first sight.

It can only be said that in the past six years or so, she hasn't changed that much... Oh, no, she's also considered big, and her figure has obviously grown completely.

It used to be a small and fresh style, but now it is obviously mature and open, but the facial features are still the same as before, and the changes are not too obvious.

Familiar and unfamiliar old friends...

Li Jiayan stood on the steps of the door, and involuntarily raised her hand to cover her lips, showing a surprised and embarrassed smile.

"It's you……"

Lu Zhou got up from his seat and smiled at her, "Yanyan... Long time no see."

The moment he exited, he realized that he subconsciously called her the nickname he had called her back then.

"It's really been a long time."

The embarrassing atmosphere finally eased, Li Jiayan walked towards Lu Zhou, and stopped at a proper social distance.

"See you after so many years, shall we shake hands and get to know each other again?" She smiled and spread her palms towards him with a generous manner.

Although the two are not so unfamiliar that they couldn't recognize each other when they first met, their relationship has already been seen so far that they need to shake hands to warm up the atmosphere. Obviously, there is really not much emotional involvement.

"Hello, I'm Lu Zhou, what's the name of the beauty?"

With a smile on the corner of Lu Zhou's mouth, he reached out and touched her fingertips cooperatively.

"I'm Li Jiayan, nice to meet you. Haha!"

The two acted and acted, but couldn't go on acting, and smiled at each other.

But the atmosphere began to lighten up.

Lu Zhou turned sideways to make room for the seat next to him, and asked, "Do you want to sit here?"

"Will someone come later?" Li Jiayan scanned the car and didn't sit down immediately.

Lu Zhou: "It's possible."

"If we want to pretend that we don't know each other, I'd better not sit next to you, or it will be too obvious."

Li Jiayan said, and picked a seat on the other side of the aisle, "I'll sit here."

"Alright." Lu Zhou nodded and sat back in his seat.

The two talked across the aisle.

"I originally thought that everyone had to go to the hut to meet each other, but I didn't expect this kind of arrangement..."

Li Jiayan said while arranging her hair.

"I got in the car for a long time and didn't see the driver driving, so I gradually realized that someone else should come." Lu Zhou answered.

At this moment, the door slammed shut suddenly, and then the pink bus started.

"Eh? The car is driving!" Li Jiayan said in surprise.

Lu Zhou and her looked at each other, "It seems that there will be no one else, and this bus is just the two of us?"

Li Jiayan shook her head blankly, "Could they get on the bus at the next intersection?"

Lu Zhou: "It's also possible."

The vehicle started off, and there was no one else in the car except the driver, and the two felt a little more at ease.

Li Jiayan turned her head to look at Lu Zhou a few times, and said, "I find you are much more handsome than when you were 18 years old."

"Polite words or the truth?" Lu Zhou joked.

Li Jiayan brushed her hair that was hanging down her ears, and smiled shyly, "Each half."

Lu Zhou made a heart-wrenching gesture.

"You used to be younger, but now, you look more mature and feel more reliable?" Li Jiayan paused, her eyes fixed, and she looked at him seriously and asked, "Is there any change? Is it more reliable?"

Lu Zhou didn't expect her to ask such a question.

Take a closer look, it seems that there is something in the words?

Isn't this implying that he was too unreliable back then?
"If you ask like that, it's easy to misunderstand me." Lu Zhou met Li Jiayan's gaze and said.

"Misunderstand what?"

"I misunderstood that you might want to get back together with me?" Lu Zhou asked with a half-smile.

Li Jiayan opened her eyes wide in surprise, and laughed, "Ah? Then this is a big misunderstanding."

"You applied to join the show first, doesn't that mean you want to get back together? That's why I just asked, have you become more reliable..."

Li Jiayan smiled apologetically, "After all, you know that if you are still in the same state as before, you will not be able to do well."

"..."

This time, Lu Zhou understood everything he said.

She thought he was going to get back together, and then asked him if he was doing better now than before. If not, they would definitely not be able to have fun.

This is a big misunderstanding.

With the camera in front of him, should we directly say what he really thinks, or is it better to explain in a tactful way?
While Lu Zhou was thinking about his speech, Li Jiayan suddenly spoke again:

"Are you still in the entertainment industry?"

Li Jiayan is very curious about Lu Zhou's current occupation. After so many years, what has he become?

Before she came to the show, she searched for Lu Zhou's information on the Internet, but found nothing. She thought he might have changed his career?
"I shouldn't be able to say this, right?" Lu Zhou asked without answering.

"Huh? Why?" Li Jiayan didn't react.

"Didn't they say that only names can be revealed?"

"Ah... yes! I almost forgot."

Li Jiayan remembered the taboo of this show, and quickly patted herself on the head.

"Jia Yan." Lu Zhou suddenly called Li Jiayan seriously, "One thing, I want to make it clear to you, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future."

Li Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and interrupted Lu Zhou's next words, "I guessed it! You didn't want to get back together with me, did you?"

Unexpectedly, the other party said what he wanted to say first, Lu Zhou was also taken aback, then nodded, affirming her words.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I was joking with you before!"

Li Jiayan shrugged, speaking calmly.

"If you really want to get back together with me, how could it be possible that you haven't contacted me for more than six years after we broke up? This is not the attitude of a man who wants to get back together, right?"

"Besides, I didn't come to this show to get back together with you."

Then why did you agree to come to the show?Fame?Do you really want to have a blind date?Lu Zhou thought so.

But he didn't ask in the end.

After the two opened up and explained, everyone relaxed.

The bus turned around for 10 minutes on the road, and then stopped at a transit station.

Immediately afterwards, their mobile phones all received a text message from the program group, instructing them to get off the car, and then they took different vehicles to go to the pink cabin individually.

At this moment, Lu Zhou and Li Jiayan realized that the 20 minutes on the bus just now were the solitary time specially provided for them by the program team.

Before they officially live in the pink cabin, let them meet officially as "ex" to understand each other's thoughts on this show.

After getting off the car, they have to clean up their emotions and prepare to get along in the show in another state.

"See you later." Li Jiayan waved to Lu Zhou.

"See you later, better acting." Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have good acting skills. You will definitely be a stranger to me when the time comes. It's you, don't reveal your secrets!"

The two got off the car talking and laughing, and then parted ways pushing their luggage.
